Psalms 54

MSG

NIV

1 God, for your sake, help me! Use your influence to clear me.
1 Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might.
2 Listen, God - I'm desperate. Don't be too busy to hear me.
2 Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
3 Outlaws are out to get me, hit men are trying to kill me. Nothing will stop them; God means nothing to them.
3 Arrogant foes are attacking me; ruthless people are trying to kill me— people without regard for God.
4 Oh, look! God's right here helping! God's on my side,
4 Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.
5 Evil is looping back on my enemies. Don't let up! Finish them off!
5 Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them.
6 I'm ready now to worship, so ready. I thank you, God - you're so good.
6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, LORD, for it is good.
7 You got me out of every scrape, and I saw my enemies get it.
7 You have delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.
